An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly-motivated and enthusiastic individual who wants to make a real difference to the lives of young people. The school would welcome applicants who have a strong commitment to inclusion, have prior experience working with pupils who have complex needs and who are enthusiastic, pro-active and have high expectations for ensuring the best outcomes for all young people.  The person appointed will be expected to lead small groups, provide effective one to one and small group support in class. They will also be expected to work alongside teams in school to produce appropriate resources suitable to individual need.

Alderman White School is a friendly, thriving and stimulating place to work and study. Our students are well-behaved and motivated.  We have excellent support from parents and the community, and a talented and positive staff team. We are ambitious for every student and provide high-quality pastoral care and support, as well as outstanding enrichment opportunities for our students and the local community.

Staff wellbeing and development is very important to us – we offer a strong sense of community, high quality staffroom facilities and a carefully tailored staff development programme, centralised behaviour system, a feedback policy which takes account of workload, and access to health services through the Schools Advisory Service. PPA time is above the statutory requirement and can be taken off site.

The school is conveniently located 5 minutes from Junction 25 of the M1, close to the A52, as well as tram and bus routes, in a suburban area close to Nottingham University.

Our membership of White Hills Park Trust, a small local Trust of diverse schools with a common ethos and values, provides excellent opportunities for further professional development and networking.
